Description

Trying to improve on defense, physical presence, face offs, and leadership help.
This gives levi a chance to develope in rochester while UPL gets 1 more shot to take the job and keeps a "good enough" goalie sign if he cant.
We'll have plenty left over cap to sign rfa's next few years and if the 30 year olds get waived because peterka greenway and some guys from roch take thier job great! We can also make a move at trade deadline and/or add savoie for a playoff push.

What in the actual **** is that Islanders trade. I would argue that Mitts>JGP at this point, adding pick 13 is just ludicrous.

You lost me on the premise that we would start Levi in Rochester, and make an off-season move with the plan that he would not actually make the team in camp. Then I got to that Islanders trade. Would Pageau be a bad addition? No, but I wouldn’t even give up Mitts for him. The islander trade is so bad that people are ignoring the overpayment you’re doing with Seattle too.

Look, I still don't believe in mittelstadt, you don't have to twist my arm much to move him, but his value increased last year, the add to mittelstadt to get pageau is not pick 13 in the best draft in 8 years. I think you are overpaying in the larsson trade too, probably also by a fair amount, but I'm a little more prepared to overpay to get a physical right d to play top 4 minutes with power. Let's face facts here, adams has been pretty risk averse in his transactions as gm, if it looks like an overpay, he's not doing it.
